Lara Adams-Miller vs. transgender people

Lara Adams-Miller is an American anti-transgender activist. In the late 2010s, Adams-Miller posted anti-trans content on The Post Millennial, Twitter, and Medium.

Background

According to a 2019 post, Adams-Miller is from North Carolina. Adams-Miller identifies as a “writer, lesbian, mother, biological healthcare professional, women’s liberationist, domestic violence and sex trade survivor, MH reformist, gender-free.”

Anti-trans activism

In late 2018, Adams-Miller was reportedly “peaked” about trans topics. In 2019, Adams-Miller stated:

The trans rights movement is misogynistic. It’s narcissistic. It doesn’t consider the impact on biological women when it sets policy objectives. It doesn’t reflect on how its portrayal of women is regressive and insulting. It disallows women boundaries, including the right to gather in spaces free of men. It expresses entitlement to women’s spoken allegiance and sexual validation. It degrades women in its speech and actions, and uses violence and intimidation to silence women. This is not a feminist movement, and women are under no obligation to cheer it on or accept it without protest.

Transwomen are men. Men cannot become women. They can choose to change their appearances to look more like women, and they can affect stereotypically feminine dress and mannerisms, but they were born male and will remain male for their whole lives.

In November 2019, Adams-Miller was upset that The Guardian set up a blind date between two women, one of whom was trans: “It pisses me off that a lesbian was, without her consent, put in a position where she was supposed to publicly affirm this person’s ‘gender.’”
